I completed two tasks and received 156 credits. Then no new tasks would download. There was a message saying, "Nothing to Do". I tried everything I could think of in the Beta app menus, but nothing worked. Finally, I cleared the app data and cache, restarted the app, logged in again and two new tasks downloaded. Am I doing something wrong?

how doe the credits get posted? I have a seti account that I have used sence June 2000. will the credits go twards this account?
I would like to getreal credit out of working my phones..

No. SETI Beta is a separate project. The credits granted at Beta do not get combined with your SETI "Main" credits. In fact, the point of joining Beta is to help test an application - not to rack up credits.

I posted about this in Beta's Cafe Seti, but I'll ask here too so Eric will be more likely to see it.

When I signed up for Beta, I just went to the Beta web site and signed up. I used the same email address and user name as Seti (and Einstein and Orbit), but apparently I got a new cross-project ID. (I'm guessing that if I'd attached to Beta from one of my crunchers, it would have carried over my C-P-ID, but I didn't want to do that -- I want to keep Beta strictly on my phone, at least for now.) Is there any way to associate my Beta account with my other ones?DavidSitting on my butt while others boldly go,

I'm not sure about that. The CPID is a rather wayward entity ;-)

Only if you ease up on your strict intention. You need (at least) one host that is connected to each of your projects. It doesn't need to process work, but it must connect regularly.

I did it. Had to abort one task. Seti main and Einstein now show up at the bottom of my Beta account page, and All Project Stats and Free-DC now show all three projects for me.DavidSitting on my butt while others boldly go,

A port to iOS seems possible now that iOS 7 appears to allow full multitasking, but App Store policies make an iOS version difficult (or illegal) to distribute. We would probably need to strip out any GPL code and distribute under a different license. And at a minimum, BOINC and SETI@home would need to be distributed as separate apps, and any updates to SETI@home apps would have to be distributed through the app store rather than through the SETI@home servers.

In other words, there's a lot of work to be done and I don't know if anything is being done on the BOINC side of things. @SETIEric
